Here are the 2020 Hebrew holiday dates! As usual, I'm providing a free printable so you can stick it in your planner, take it work, put it on the fridge, or whatever else you need to do to make sure that you'll be free to celebrate the special times of our Creator. All of these holidays are significant, and some of them are called Sabbaths in Scripture, which means we are instructed not to do any work on those days. I've made note of those so that you can plan accordingly. You can read more about no-work days here.
There are several different calendars out there for celebrating the feasts, and once again I'm giving you two sets of dates. My goal is not to convince you of one over the other (or even necessarily either of these), but to encourage you to pick a calendar to use so that you can honor Scripture's set apart times to the best of your ability. As always, pray about how you should live and be willing to make changes and adjustments as your faith grows.
Traditional calendar:
The traditional calendar has days going from sundown to sundown. Holidays start at sundown on the day listed. For example, Passover starts at sundown on April 9 and ends at sundown on April 10. The traditional calendar also gives an extra day for Shavuot and Yom Teruah, though Scripture treats both as one-day holidays.
Passover - April 8-9
Feast of Matzah - April 9-16
First Fruits - April 11-12
Shavuot - May 28-30
Yom Teruah - September 18-20
Yom Kippur - September 27-28
Sukkot - October 2-10
No work days:
First day of Matzah Week - April 9-10
Last day of Matzah Week - April 15-16
Shavuot - May 28-30
Yom Teruah - September 18-20
Yom Kippur - September 27-28
First day of Sukkot - October 2-3
Last day of Sukkot - October 9-10
